UPDATED: DEC 18, 2021 Boozy beer with Belgian sweetness, but no the spice. Low carbonation, minimal head.

UPDATED: JUN 10, 2021 11.1% Barleywine ale - strong barley flavor - similar to a strong Belgian ale

UPDATED: APR 10, 2021 Bottle from Total Wine in Orlando, FL. Aroma is caramel, fig, prune, mild booze. Taste is creamy toffee, boozy figs, tobacco. Very creamy caramel but also sharp booze...somehow, simultaneously over-the-top and drinkable.

UPDATED: NOV 18, 2020 12oz bottle. Pours a slightly reddish amber with a small beige head. Aroma is caramel, cherry, raisin, bread, some fig, and some earth. Taste is caramel, brown sugar, toffee, fruit cake, spice, some fig, some nuts, some wood, faint leather, a little cocoa, and some cherry [6.5/10]. Earth, spice, and a little bread in the finish. Moderately boozy. Medium body. Fine, not-quite-medium carbonation. Oily-slick mouthfeel.

UPDATED: NOV 6, 2020 Aussehen: trübes Dunkleres braun, leicht carbonisiert, krone verschwindet sofort. Aroma: Beeren, erinnert stark an glühwein (nelken, zimt, alkohol) Antrunk: sauer, Midtrunk: sauer, süßlich (beeren), alkohol Nachtrunk: röstaromen, karamell, vollbrot Minimal öliges mindgefühl Fazit: voll starker körper begleitet von 11,1% und eine reichhaltige Geschmacksnote die von sauer über süß zu röst reicht. Sehr interessant. Es könnte etwas feiner abgestimmt sein. Muss definitiv genossen werden, sonst macht es kopfschmerzen

UPDATED: SEP 22, 2020 Bottle. Clear, dark golden to red-amber body with almost no head. Aroma of malt, caramel, dry fruit, raisons and warming alcohol. Taste is quite sweet with malt, dry fruit and quite much alcohol. Fine body and long lasting aftertaste. Nice sipper, but a bit boozy after a while.

UPDATED: AUG 2, 2020 A massive and well-crafted ale in the barleywine style. Pours an opaque reddish-gold color with quickly reducing medium tan head. Good lacing. No yeast tendrils as some report. Light nose of burnt sugar, caramel, figs, malts, biscuit, figs and dark bread. Bold and complex taste profile of the same proportions amplified, plus a hefty alcohol presence. Sweet at the onset slowly morphing to a pleasant full-bodied hoppy aftertaste. Full mouthfeel. This particular brew is very rich, even more so than the benchmark Sierra Nevada Bigfoot which I also enjoy. No lightweights here! Yum! Highly recommended if you are in the mood for a colossal beer.

UPDATED: JUL 25, 2020 Pours ruby red with small head disappearing fast. Aroma: beautiful dried fruit, mainly figs, followed by a touch pf cherries and marzipan. Taste: malty, mainly dried fruit focused, there is also a nice touch of vanilla. Warming in the palate.

UPDATED: JUN 11, 2020 Rich heavy tropical flavors that pack a solid punch. No wonder it is 11.1 percent alcohol level beer. Heavy robust finish. Still well blended together.
